Pom Pon Squad Victorious
On Saturday, Nov. 12, the Maine West Pom Pon squad competed at Olympia Fields. Led by captain Reggie Nero '78, the squad forged ahead of 20 other schools to capture a fifth place trophy and a third place ribbon. The Maine West Pom Pons became the first squad in the school's history to win any awards. In a marked improvement over last year's showing, the Porn Pon girls did quite well. In the originality portion of the contest the team took a fifth place trophy. They fared even better in the speed competition. This contest determines how rapidly a Pom Pon squad can master a drill. They were awarded a third place ribbon in this event.
